On a recent business trip to Baltimore I picked up a copy of Elle Decoration. Reading towards the end of the magazine I came across this amazing home and yes started drooling on the plane. Powerhouse Company has created this masterpiece that most of us can only dream about. Modern dream homes can offer great inspiration to us low budget DIYers though. Lots of pics after the jump.
Set in the woodlands of Holland, the program of Villa 1 is oriented optimal towards the views on the terrain and the sun. Half of the program is pushed below ground to meet local zoning regulations. This creates a clear dichotomy in the spatial experience of the house - a glass box ground floor where all mass is concentrated in furniture elements and a ‘medieval’ basement, where the spaces are carved out of the mass.
